The Christian Mind of C. S. Lewis: Essays in Honor of Michael Travers
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
C. S. Lewis embodied the Christian mind because he saw the world as a coherent unity. His writing consistently pursued the good, the true, and the beautiful. He used nonfiction to point out the reasonableness of Christianity and used his fiction to create compelling illustrations that make faith in Christ an obvious and attractive conclusion. This book explores the Christian mind of C. S. Lewis across the spectrum of the genres he worked in. With contributors from diverse disciplines and interests, the volume illuminates the many facets of Lewis's work. The Christian Mind of C. S. Lewis assists readers to read Lewis better and also to read other works better. The overarching goal is, just as Lewis would have desired, to help people see Christ more clearly in the world and to be more like Christ.

Michael Travers was my colleague for a number of years. More importantly, he was a dear and trusted friend. The essays in this volume on The Christian Mind of C. S. Lewis appropriately honor both Lewis and Travers. These men believed it is essential to love God well with our heart and our mind. This volume will help you do both!

No man has influenced my understanding of what it means to think Christianly as much as C. S. Lewis. And no man has influenced my understanding of what it means to be a Christian academic as much as Michael Travers. I fell in love with Lewis the first time as a college freshman. I fell in love with Lewis a second time in large part through my friendship with Michael. These essays offer helpful entryways into Lewis’s thought through many different, complementary doorways. Along the way, they also serve as a fitting tribute to Michael Travers’s legacy as a Christian gentleman and Christ-centered scholar.

The essays are well-argued and well-written, making this book profitable not only for the college classroom but also for the armchair or coffee shop. Highly recommended.
